Mersin is GW's new location
Gebrüder Weiss has opted for a multimodal approach in Eastern Turkey: its new location offers air and sea freight services, as well as intermodal land transport.
Mersin, the country's second port and an important hub in the East Med not least due to the sanctions against the Iran, is at the crossroads for shipments to the Caucasus, the Middle East, and Central Asia.
In domestic trade, Mersin is connected to the northern economic centres of Kahramanmaras, Konya and Kayseri, from which mainly textile and agricultural products, chemical industry and mechanical engineering are exported.
“In addition to air and sea freight services, we also offer local customers pharmaceutical and multimodal transports as well as warehouse logistics and customs clearance,” said Çiler Keskinel, country manager air & sea Turkey at Gebrüder Weiss.
Turkey is an important gateway role on the so-called “middle corridor” of the New Silk Road towards Central Asia and China. Mersin is GW’s third location in Turkey, in addition to Istanbul and Izmir. (sh)
